Hawkmaiden
“ The fireplace structure was four feet tall and ten feet wide, with three grand pillars of rock supporting the massive stone chimney above it. The Flame was built, family legend had it, when the Westwoodmen first arrived at the Westwood, centuries ago. Everything else in the manor had been built after and around that central fireplace. The Flame was, literally, at the center of the Westwood’s existence.
Supposedly the Flame had been burning continuously for hundreds of years, constantly ...tended by her family, but Dara somehow doubted that. It just seemed impractical. But the reverence her family displayed for the fire was profound, bordering on religious. That made them very odd to the rest of the Vale, who worshipped the proper Narasi gods when the monks and priestesses made their circuits through Sevendor. To them, fire was just fire. But a Westwoodman swore his most sacred oaths by the Flame, bore witness to the most important ceremonies, and he would not willingly lie in its light.MoreLess
